DELIVEROO has started trialling drones for food delivery for the first time in Dublin.
Foodies in a 3km radius of Blanchardstown will be able to order from selected restaurants including Musashi, WOWBurger, Boojum and Elephant & Castle.
Deliveroo is trialing drone deliveriesDeliverooThe drone service is said to be a sustainable alternative to traditional delivery methodsGetty
An initial test phase is being used to assess whether drones can help unlock new customers, particularly in suburban locations.
By bypassing road traffic, drone deliveries can significantly cut wait times and reduce emissions, offering a faster and more sustainable alternative to traditional delivery methods.
CEO and Founder of Manna Air Delivery, Bobby Healy, said: “Air delivery is fast, clean, and safe, offering a new avenue for local businesses to reach more consumers.
“Manna Air Delivery is proud to partner with Deliveroo, a platform trusted by top local restaurants and eateries, to bring this innovative delivery experience to customers.”
Owner of Musashi, Bill Lang, said: “We have been serving up authentic sushi for years but never thought we’d see it in the sky, delivered to peoples doorsteps by drone.
“Musashi is delighted to extend our partnership with Deliveroo to drone deliveries, helping us to reach even more customers in the Blanchardstown area.”
Green Party Leader, Roderic O’Gorman, called on the Oireachtas Transport Committee to urgently hold a hearing on commercial drone use.
He made the call following the announcement of the deal between Manna and Deliveroo that will see increased drone use in Dublin 15.
O’Gorman said: “Dublin 15 and other parts of the city are seeing a rapidly increasing number of drone delivery flights, and this will only increase with the new deal between Manna and Deliveroo.
“Absolutely, there are benefits to the commercial use of drones, but there has been no discussion of the balance of rights between the companies using them, and residents who are impacted by the disturbance they create, particularly noise.”
Spokesperson for Transport for the Green Party, Cllr Feljin Jose, shared concerns over plans to expand the service to Glasnevin and the wider area in the coming months.
He said: “This rapid expansion of drone food deliveries coupled with the current planning regulation vacuum is a recipe for disaster.
“There are plans to expand them to Glasnevin and the wider area in the coming months which prompted a discussion at Dublin City Council’s Mobility and Public Realm Strategic Policy Committee last month.
“I’ve asked the chair of the committee to write to the Minister asking him to urgently publish regulations around this but we need to hit pause on this until that’s in place.”
URGENT SESSION
O’Gorman continued: “I have written to the Chairperson of the of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, which I sit on, requesting that the Committee holds an urgent session on the use of commercial drones for delivery.
“I believe that the Irish Aviation Authority, Manna, Deliveroo and officials from the Department of Transport all need to provide their input to this hearing.”
O’Gorman called on the Minister for Transport to “urgently publish” the National Policy Framework for Drone Use.
He added: “When I raised the issue of drone use in the Dail in February, the Minister said that this Policy was near completion.
“It needs to be finished and published urgently, and should cover key issues like noise pollution, safety concerns, planning issues and privacy rules, regarding the use of commercial drones.”
The chair of the committee, Janet Horner highlighted there was a “grey area” over the regulation of commercial drone operations in terms of planning.
She said: “I think it is unrealistic and unfair to expect people to put up with that within their homes.”
The committee will call on the Irish Aviation Authority to discuss the issue further.

Brian took to Instagram today to share an update as the two-year-old continues to settle into school life.
The dad-of-two first shared a clip of himself carrying Blake on his shoulders as they made their way to preschool.
In the video, Blake looked excited for the day ahead as she smiled at the camera when her dad asked if she was looking forward to school
After dropping her off, Brian admitted: “School drop off done – does it actually get easier?
The popular presenter added that it has become “much easier”, as he explained: “I actually drop her at the door with the teacher, I don’t have to kind of walk in and put her at the desk and do all of that.”
However, he confessed that he still finds it tough to walk away.
Brian said: “But when I walk away I’m telling myself, ‘don’t look around, don’t look around’, but then I do look around and she’s perfectly fine.”
The 46-year-old then joked: “Maybe when she’s eighteen this won’t be as bad.
He added: “What is nice though is I was able to do it this morning and I didn’t feel like I was rushed which was really nice.”
The TV host ended the update by revealing he was heading back home for a quick “cup of tea” before getting ready to record something new.
However, he didn’t reveal what the secret project was.
Brian recently admitted he’s been having a “tough” time as he fought back the tears in his emotional farewell statement on 98FM.
OFF AIR
After more than two years at the helm, the TV star called it quits on his radio show.
He had been co-hosting a weekday morning show from 10am to 1pm with Suzanne Kane since March 2023.
It was the dad-of-two’s last time co-hosting his 98FM show last week and emotions were at an all time high in the studio.
Brian got teary-eyed as he signed off saying: “I promised myself I wasn’t going to get upset. You’re tearing up, don’t tear up!
“I have had the best time here for nearly two and a half years. It’s been an absolute blast. It’s been an honour to sit in this chair for the length of time I have.
“I’m sure a lot of people thought, ‘Oh, Brian Dowling got a job – He’ll be in it six weeks and he’ll be gone’. I have given this show absolutely everything.
“I became a dad on this show. I’ve had television success on this show. I’ve had it all on this show.”
4 days agoNews TopicsComments Off on 9 MILLION pensioners will get Winter Fuel Payment after Reeves’ humiliating U-turn – will YOU get the cash?
NINE million pensioners will receive the winter fuel payment THIS YEAR after a humiliating government u-turn.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves has expanded the threshold for receiving the benefit allowing the elderly with a pension below £35,000 will get the benefit.
EPAChancellor Rachel Reeves[/caption]
PARachel Reeves axed the universal winter fuel payment last July[/caption]
Ministers will be left red-faced with the change costing £1.25 billion with the new means-testing saving Treasury coffers around £450 million.
Ms Reeves axed the universal winter fuel payment last July just weeks after entering office in a bid to save £1.5 billion – after claiming the Tories had left a £22 billion financial black hole.
She said: “Targeting Winter Fuel Payments was a tough decision, but the right decision because of the inheritance we had been left by the previous government.
“It is also right that we continue to means-test this payment so that it is targeted and fair, rather than restoring eligibility to everyone including the wealthiest.
AS political u-turns go, Rachel Reeves’ retreat on winter fuel payments will surely go down as one of the biggest – and messiest – in history. Her first act as Chancellor to snatch the cold weather cash from 10million pensioners has today been spectacularly dumped. Nine million OAP will now get the benefit, meaning all but the richest will claw back the £200-£300 sum. With a price tag of £1.25billion, this whole palaver has only saved the Treasury £450million. It’s chicken feed in the grand scheme of things, and a tenth of the annual migrant hotel bill. But the political cost has been devastating. Labour insiders trace their spanking at last month’s local elections back to Ms Reeves’ toxic decision in the weeks after the election. That the winter fuel policy was still coming up on doorsteps 10 months later was a sign it was destined for the shredder. Yet rather than ripping off the plaster cleanly, the past few weeks have seen an agonising u-turn mired in chaos and confusion. Four years is a long time until the next general election, and Sir Keir Starmer and Ms Reeves will be hoping voters would have since moved on. But – even with today’s backing down – the winter fuel debacle is likely to live long in the memory of the electorate and haunt Labour for a very long time.
“But we have now acted to expand the eligibility of the Winter Fuel Payment so no pensioner on a lower income will miss out.
“This will mean over three quarters of pensioners receiving the payment in England and Wales later this winter.”
The payment will be £200 per household or £300 per household where someome is over the age opf 80.
Eligibility will be based on the individual’s age and location during the third week of September this year. The person will have to have reached state pension age by September 21 this year to be eligible.
Pensioners will not have to take any action to receive the payment, it will come through automatically. For those above the threshold it will be automatically clawed back through HMRC.
Three-quarters of people of state pension age in England and Wales are now expected to get payment this winter worth up to £300 a year.
Only around two million individuals in England and Wales over the state pension age will miss out as they earn too much.
How do I apply for pension credit?
YOU can start your application up to four months before you reach state pension age.
Applications for pension credit can be made on the government website or by ringing the pension credit claim line on 0800 99 1234.
You can get a friend or family member to ring for you, but you’ll need to be with them when they do.
You’ll need the following information about you and your partner if you have one:
National Insurance number
Information about any income, savings and investments you have
Information about your income, savings and investments on the date you want to backdate your application to (usually three months ago or the date you reached state pension age)
You can also check your eligibility online by visiting www.gov.uk/pension-credit first.
If you claim after you reach pension age, you can backdate your claim for up to three months.
The threshold is seen by the Treasury as “well above” the income level of pensioners in poverty and is being seen as broadly in line with average earnings.
The costs will be accounted for in the Budget this autumn with the Chancellor taking decisions in the round to ensure her non-negotiable fiscal rules are met.
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch blasted: “Keir Starmer has scrambled to clear up a mess of his own making. I repeatedly challenged him to reverse his callous decision to withdraw winter fuel payments, and every time Starmer arrogantly dismissed my criticisms.
“This humiliating u-turn will come as scant comfort to the pensioners forced to choose between heating and eating last winter. The Prime Minister should now apologise for his terrible judgement.”
The decision was in part triggered after Labour suffered a brutal set of results at the local elections last month as Nigel Farage’s party surged.
Ms Reeves ditched the winter fuel payments to all pensioners in one of her first major acts as Chancellor last July blaming the state of the public finances.
But the move only saved Treasury coffers around £1.5 billion but the decision provoked fury from OAPs and charities.
The Chancellor last week revealed there would be a “means test” but stopped short of saying how it will be funded.
She said: “People should be in no doubt that the means test will increase and more people will get winter fuel payment this winter.
“As we have been clear, on winter fuel we will set out how we will fund that at the next fiscal event.
“We will set out how everything will be paid for at the budget in the autumn but it’s important that everything that we do is funded, because that’s how people know that we can afford it.”
The about-turn came after Sir Keir Starmer revealed more pensioners would be receiving the benefit following the outcry.
It meant a huge reduction in those receiving the benefit with numbers falling from 11.4 million to just 1.5 million.
But there was a word of warning that the payment wouldn’t return to being universal for all pensioners before the decision was made last year.
Pensions Minister Torsten Bell said last week: “Is there any prospect of a universal winter fuel payment? The answer is no.
“Most people – ninety-five per cent of people – agree that it is not a good idea that we have a system paying a few hundred pounds to millionaires.”

DELIVEROO LAUNCHES DRONE DELIVERIES IN DUBLIN, TAKING THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCE TO NEW HEIGHTS
Deliveroo takes on-demand delivery to new heights as it launches drone deliveries in Dublin, powered by Manna, an established global drone delivery operator.
An initial test phase is being used to assess whether drones can help unlock new customers, particularly in suburban locations, with the ability to bypass road traffic and cover longer distances in a short space of time.
The service will initially cover a 3km radius in the Dublin 15 neighbourhoods, with leading local restaurants, flown to customers in as little as three minutes.
New imagery and video shows a Deliveroo branded drone in flight making one of the first deliveries, a meal of sushi from Musashi.
5th June 2025 [Dublin]: Deliveroo, the on-demand delivery platform, has today launched drone deliveries in Dublin, Ireland.
Through a new partnership with Manna, an established global drone delivery operator, the service is designed to support Deliveroos continuous mission to improve the customer experience.
The innovative service is based in Blanchardstown, Dublin 15, with Deliveroo conducting a test phase over the coming weeks. Deliveroo will use the initial weeks to assess how drones can help serve suburban and harder to reach locations, with the ultimate aim of unlocking new customers through super-fast deliveries, complementing its extensive rider network.
Over the coming days, customers in a 3km radius of Blanchardstown will be able to order from leading local restaurants including Musashi, WOWBurger, Boojum and Elephant & Castle - flown to customers in as little as three minutes*. Deliveroo is aiming to expand the service to more restaurants and launch grocery and retail deliveries within the next six months.
In new imagery and a video released by Deliveroo today, a teal drone is seen making one of the first deliveries to a customer, with sushi from Musashi in tow. Whether its sushi for lunch, a Friday treat or a family gathering, the ambition is for Deliveroos drones to ensure orders arrive at peak freshness.
By bypassing road traffic, drone deliveries can significantly cut wait times and reduce emissions, offering a faster and more sustainable alternative to traditional delivery methods, particularly suited to suburban locations where Deliveroo is looking to increase its presence. The objective is also for Deliveroo drone deliveries to support participating merchants in growing their sales by appealing to and reaching new customers, complementing Deliveroos existing delivery network.
Drones will be deployed from Mannas local delivery hub, flying at speeds of up to 80 km/h with a flight time of as little as three minutes. Upon arrival, the drone hovers and gently lowers the food to the ground via a secure, biodegradable tether, ensuring a seamless and contact-free delivery experience.
Deliveroo is excited by the prospect of expanding the service to its other markets, subject to the benefits to consumer experience, following the launch in Ireland, alongside regulatory evolution in other markets. The company welcomes the UK Government's £20 million investment to advance commercial drone operations and bring this technology closer to reality for UK consumers.
Carlo Mocci, Chief Business Officer at Deliveroo said: Our mission is to bring local neighbourhood favourites to as many peoples doors as possible, and constantly raise the bar on the experience and service we provide - so Im thrilled to launch drone deliveries in Dublin today.
Were excited to explore how drones can help us reach new customers, complementing our existing rider model and if successful, the prospect of expanding drone deliveries across Ireland and into other markets.
Bobby Healy, CEO and Founder of Manna Air Delivery said: Air delivery is fast, clean, and safe, offering a new avenue for local businesses to reach more consumers. Manna Air Delivery is proud to partner with Deliveroo, a platform trusted by top local restaurants and eateries, to bring this innovative delivery experience to customers."
Bill Lang, owner of Musashi said: We have been serving up authentic sushi for years but never thought we'd see it in the sky, delivered to peoples doorsteps by drone. Musashi is delighted to extend our partnership with Deliveroo to drone deliveries, helping us to reach even more customers in the Blanchardstown area."
Manna, which has already completed over 170,000 delivery flights in the Dublin 15 and holds full regulatory approvals, will operate the drones. Each drone is equipped with advanced safety features, including backup systems and a parachute, and is continuously monitored by a dedicated dispatcher throughout its flight.
Eligible customers within the correct radius will need to validate their address via the app before it confirms a suitable pin location for a safe drop off, typically a driveway, front or back garden. Once an order is placed, they will be able to track the delivery as usual and will be notified when the drone is nearby so they can receive the order.](https://www.thesun.ie/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/06/msemail_Deliveroo_x_Manna_1jpg-JS1000383843.jpg?strip=all&w=960)
